I originally bought these shorts in my usual size 4 but found them a bit too tight and they didn’t stretch out after washing. I ordered more pairs recently one size up size 6 for more comfort. Good shorts and good price.

Wears out quickly
I've washed/worn these twice, and there are already holes near the back pockets.

Great Fit but Darker Color (navy blue) Faded
I bought these last summer (2018) in Taupe and Navy Blue (now called Indigo) and love them. The fit is great with a little bit of "give" in the waist which is fine with me-I don't tuck shirts in. I'm 61 and was initially a little hesitant that a 4" inseam would be too short but they're fine for everyday, casual wear. My only disappointment was that the navy blue/indigo faded- a LOT. I'm back to buy another pair but am sticking to the lighter colors.

Shorts for Soring
I went out on a limb and really got these for my daughter but since they don’t have strings or rips she is snubbing them. They are great material and I will just out on some fake bake and go with it. They are not too short for most, but at 50, they maybe edging over my comfort zone.

Cute and comfortable
These are stretch cotton, in a good way. They are so comfy but do not slide down to create a muffin top. (I am not super thin and they are not tight).
They also keep their shape and fit without binding.
It is a darker navy which seems just right to contrast with light/bright summer colors.

Great shorts!
I ordered size 6 in light blue, dark blue, pink, and yellow. (I wear a size 6 in Ann Taylor pants and Levi jeans.)
They fit perfectly and are true to size. They are cute and have just a little stretch to them to make them really comfortable.

BEST SHORTS EVER CREATED
I normally don’t write reviews but I had to for these shorts that I recently found. Nothing in this world is more perfect than these shorts. I love their design, silhouette, and fit so so so much. They are the perfect length too. While the item itself does run a bit large, the ones that fit me fit better than any kinds of pants I’ve ever worn. They are stretchy, breathable, and overall just super comfortable (and I can sit down happy too) There is no catch to these shorts even though I thought they would be too good to be true. Just elegant and timeless pieces that are perfect for summer and spring!! I got 3 pairs in different colors.
I normally wear around a size 10 or even 12 but the 8 fit me just fine. I am a bit worried to see how much they shrink in the wash since they are 96% cotton 😢regardless, BUY THESE SHORTS!!!! You will not regret it!!!!
Union Bay, if you see this, PLEASE never get rid of these!!! You beat the entire game with this one🙌🏼🙌🏼

Perfect shorts
Very cute shorts. Nice stretch but they run a little small. I liked them enough to buy 4 additional pairs

Nice
Size up! I have an average frame, maybe wide-ish hips but I wish I would have sized up because there is not a lot of stretch in these. Not true to size in my opinion but on the smaller side
